Soccer time!

Caylin's first (real) soccer season has begun! She's super excited and she loves playing. Daddy is starting back at the beginning after coaching Aiana for 7 years. Caylin is getting more and more aggressive out on the field. She told me "I love soccer and I don't care if I get sweaty out there because I get to play with my dad!"

The kids got to all suggest a name for the team, and Caylin wanted the team to be called Smith (??). The name that was chosen was Red Speeders. Can't wait for the first game!

Pancake breakfast

This is what I promise the girls when they "seep the hoooe night" (as Anika says). Since Anika learned to crawl out of her crib she has been night waking, so I thought I'd give the bunkbeds a try with both of them. Buuuuut, they have both been waking eachother up, and it's driving me nuts. So every night I promise the girls a chocolate chip pancake breakfast if they sleep the whole night. And finally they did, so, we had a very special breakfast. I also decided to put Anika back in the crib, and it's much better. They are just not ready to share a room and I am so thankful that I have the option to not have to have them share!...Maybe one day?

Family time at the beach

Finally having some beach days with blue skies! This weekend started off spending time with some very special people. First got to spend a day with my dear friend, Amber, really she's my sister related by name. I lover her so much! and I wish we could spend more than just one day together! Move back to San Diego!! :)

Second we spent the day with my uncle and cousins. It was so fun to be with them again and meet new baby cousins! They are beautiful! I definately want to spend more time with these guys, I love you all! xoxo

Morro Bay

We had a great time with our friends, the Spees, in Morro Bay. It's such a treat to spend time with them!

Aiana stayed back and had a fun weekend with Mimi painting her room, something she has been wanting to do for a LONG time!

Biggest dog ever!

Sunshine!

This summer has been cold! Finally, we had a little sunshine...well a lot of sunshine. We went from weather in the low 70's to high 90's. After picking up Aiana from camp, we had a pool day to cool off.

Daddy's dream come true

Well, Will finally got his girls out in a sail boat! They loved it! Little future sailers I think?

Aiana, though not on the sail boat, had a blast on the kayak. She and her friend got a good work out!

Love that we can get our kayak out again!

Day with cousins

What a lovely evening with our cousins Clarke and Tami in Carlsbad.

It has been a treat to spend some fun times with Clarke and Tami. No annual camping trip this year, but we saw In The Heights together and had so much fun at the Orange County fair with them! Such a fun sleep over :)

I can't believe these girls are going in to high school already!
